Description
Sudanese escape to the beach amid a 15-hour power outage as temperatures soar in the coastal city of Port Sudan. "Often, when the power goes out for periods exceeding 14 or 15 hours a day, I sit in the car for a while and turn on the car's air conditioning so that I can continue with the day," says Sudanese citizen Hassan Baraka. Environmental expert Taha Badawi urges that "Temperatures affect production, public health, and the movement of citizens during daylight hours, which requires the state to put the issue of climate change on its agenda."
